After a long week at work, it was exactly what I needed. I absolutely loved the exhibition and was so pleased I'd decided to go along. Val Shields of The Quilters' Guild held a workshop on quilting for beginners and I was amazed to see and hear about all of the different techniques that could be used to produce quilts.
There were several displays of quilts - all very varied but all by very talented people. The quilt below was produced by various quilters from Iceland. I loved the fish and the lovely blue colours which match the country's landscape so well. So much love and hard work has gone into these pieces!
Quilting is definitely something I'd like to try my hand at - once I've learnt how to use my sewing machine that is!!
